When a former student bungles a murder investigation, clinical
psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin steps in to face a ruthless killer.
A mother and her teenage daughter are found murdered in a remote coastal
home, one defiled by multiple stab wounds and the other posed like
Sleeping Beauty waiting for her prince. Joe O'Loughlin is drawn into the
investigation when a former student, trading on Joe's reputation by
calling himself "the Mindhunter," jeopardizes the police inquiry by
leaking details to the media and stirring up public anger.
Joe discovers a link between the farmhouse murders and a series of
vicious attacks in which the victims are choked unconscious and brutally
scarred. Now, Joe must stop a ruthless and brash criminal who has
apparently graduated to murder. Much to his surprise, he is ably
assisted by his eldest daughter, now a keen and courageous observer of
her own right. Together they must track and catch a hunter who seems to
anticipates every move they make.
